The Great Sioux Reservation.

Senator Jones of Arkansas in
troduced bill in the Senate on
the 18th inst. whose main features
are the opening up Of the great
Sioux reservation to settlers, etc.,
also providing for the allotment of
land in severalty to the Indians.
This calls to mind some of the sti-
pulations specified in their treaty
concluded April 29, 1868; where
by this reservation was set apart
as permanent home for said In
dians.' Art. 2, (4O798) reads:
''The United States now solemnly
agrees that no persons except
those herein designated, and au-
thorized so to do, and except such
officers, agents and employees Of
the Government as may be author.
lied to enter upon Indian reserva-
tions in discharge of duties enjoin-
ed by law shall ever be permitted to
pass over, settle upon, or reside in
the territory described in this ar
ticle," etc., etc. Art. -, of the
same treaty reads as follows: mo
treaty for the cession of any por.
tion or part of the reservation
herein described which may be
held in common shall be of any
validity or force as against the
Indians unless executed and siqned
BY at least three jourths of all the
adult male Indians," etc., etc.
It is to be hoped that whatever
steps may be taken, due consider
alton will be observed of these OBJ
legations in treating with the
Sioux's for the future opening up
Of their great reservation.

about the Arensdorf trial, for the
brutal murder of Rev. G.. G. Had
dock, and with it's final conclusion
at Sioux City, terminating in the
acquittal of the supposed murder
er, etc., one is led to believe that
Law and Justice in the hands of
the learned legal ability of to-day
when backed by ample capital, had
become as the black art in the
necromancer's hands, since muir
derers, thieves, blacklegs and all
other classes of criminals seem to
find an easy exit from merited and
just penalties. Verify, it were

NIAGARA FALLS was lately the
scene Of the elopement of a cler-
gyman's pretty II year old daugh-
ter with a Tuscarora Indian, and
Michigan comes to the front with
the elopement Of the handsome
and accomplished daughter of a
wealthy aristocrat with huge,
black buck negro off on Dakota
farm ! Well, we always believed
some people were afflicted with
color blindness The next thing
we will probably hear will be that
Miss Columbia has taken the King
of the Sandwich Islands (inclu-
ding the sugar plantations) to her
bosom, and Uncle Sam has offered
his hand to the dark-eyed daugh-
ter Of the Aztec-Mexico- And
then there will be nothing else TO
do for the American Eagle but to
soar on high, flap his wings, give
a war whoop that will paralyze
the British Lion, and then feast

Log Cutting By Indians.

The Minneapolis Lumberman'
says, "The Indians on the Fond
du Lac reservation will cut about
35,000,000 feet Of pine timber this
winter" " We understand that
outside of the ''pine- -ring'' infu-
ences, these Indians are allowed
an unrestricted privilege in the
making of contracts, the sale of
their timber and the handling of
the revenue arising therefrom, etc.
This is as it should be, and the
Progress hopes that the Govern
ment may soon see fit to likewise
extend similar privileges to the In
dians Of the White Earth reserva-
ton, at least to cut and save the
millions Of feet Of dead and fallen
pine timber that have been leveled
to the ground by destroying ele-
ments. For if allowed to remain
in it's present state during this
winter it will be fit food for worms
and seasoned fuel to feed the de-
vouring flames Of forest fires
which annually rage through these
sections of country.
1t is also appropos to state here
that several of our industrious
Indians incurred considera BILE ex-
pense last season in putting up
hay, and preparing in a general
way with the hope that they would
be granted the privileges hereto
fore mentioned. It would there.
fore, seem but reasonable that
some steps should be taken tow
ards aiding and encouraging them
in their humble efforts at self-sup-
port, consistent with the progress
i've measures Of the age!

In the next revision of Webster's s
Dictionary the positive permanent
cy of the nature of the words for
ever 'permanent,' 'undisputed,'
'undisturbed' and likewise the
fractional scope of 'three-fourths,'
will certainly need some attention
looking to AN amendment of their
definition, as their frequent uses
and abuses have knocked all the
christian sentiment out Of them
and rendered their definition NOM

SuperIatiueiy Happy.

In a recent interview agent Shee-
han said to Pioneer Press cores
pondent
II am supremely happy. Affairs
on the White Earth reservation
were never in a more prosperous
state than at present. :
All discord and disturbance on the
reservation seems to have quieted
down and unless further friction
ensues the tribes under my charge
will make a long stride toward
civilization this year,
Supremacy Of happiness, is the
fruit Of dearly bought experience.
If the fact Of a few Indians having
succeeded in catching a few fish,
etc. this fall, can be construed in
to a proper definition of the word
prosperity then are we prosper
Gus. AS to further friction,' there
needs be no alarm, as judicial in
tervention' and the Hon. u. S.

opine, forever curbed the aggress-
i've assumption of pompous arro-
gance upon the White Earth res
ervation.

Brand Your Stock.

Lately, we have heard of several
complaints of strayed or stolen stock,
etc. It would seem to us that it were
time our farmers should assume the
more reliable method Of legible brands
for their stock other than mere BIRTH
marks OF color, and to see that every
hoof they own is properly branded.
This will insure undisputed claim to
any of your stock which may stray
into neighboring herds and avoid the
annoying controversies of lawsuits
and much il-feeling.

in securing the services of the best
living auth GRITTY now to be found
amongst the Ojibwas of Minneso-
ta, great care is also exercised in
the translation which is as near
verbatim as is possible to classify
them.
The series will contain many in

History, Customs, Traditions and
Legends Of the Ojibwas, not omit
ting the charming jocularity of
the endless tales Of the never dying
